I,ve been getting only - couldn't connect to server since 12:20 UTC and Cricket upload has died. :((

Finally got through to scheduler, but still no work of course. Uploads look dead.

My theory: Wildcat strikes because the servers saw the posts about replacing some of them. Need to reassure them about alternative use! :=)Another Fred

I see in the logs of my machine I was unable to report or request work for about 80 minutes. <sarcasm>That is only 94.4% up time in the past 24 hours. Which kind of Micky mouse operation is this!</sarcasm>

Do we know if there are still issues ongoing with the line upstream from PAIX, or find out what the issue was?SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the BP6/VP6 User Group today!

bla, bla bla no cuda units LOL.
I got an astropulse wu for some strange reason and am happy to do it even though this Sempron is kinda slow at it and the old ATI x1550 I have in the this box does not do cuda, strange thing is that my preference settings are
SETI@home Enhanced: yes
Astropulse v5: no
Astropulse v505:
if no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? no
I still got an astropulse unit

yes, no, no, no for the preferences and still got an AP. Though it could have been prevented if I had removed AP from the app_info months ago when I switched that machine to MB-only. I just went ahead and suspended network for that machine though. Partly because of the overnight downtime, and partly because I also did NNT on it so that I can fix the app_info once all the completed tasks are reported.Linux laptop:

Yeah, I think there is a bug in the work request code somewhere. So somehow the tasks slip though if you have an app for them.

I see in my logs sometime that I don't have an app in my app_info.xml for "random app that I don't have allowed on for that venue". As most of my machine are CPU MB only the message is normally "Message from server: Your app_info.xml file doesn't have a usable version of Astropulse v505."SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the BP6/VP6 User Group today!

Mine's the other way around for that. On the main cruncher, it is AP-only, so "no, no, yes, no" and about 95% of the scheduler requests result in "you don't have a usable version of S@H enhanced." Been doing that for at least a year. Since I only have AP in my app_info, I don't get issued work that I didn't ask for, but I forgot to remove AP from the app_info on the other machine.Linux laptop:

If you have an app_info then the settings on the preference web page are meaningless. You will get tasks for the apps listed in your app_info.

But.. the preferences should enforce the decisions made by the scheduler, which is the whole point of having the preferences in the first place.Linux laptop:

The preferences page definitely still works even with an app_info in place.

Indeed they do. At least most of the time in my case. If it occurred often for me I would run a trace to see if the issue was on my end somehow. I see it with the same rate on my home and work machines. So I am guessing it is something server or network related. Perhaps my request packet dropped some info or the server was so busy it ignored that part of the request. As I don't run other projects as much I'm not sure if they have similar issues.SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the BP6/VP6 User Group today!
